If you're looking for a bit of technical, yet fresh-sounding metal alloy, be sure to check out Six Degrees of Separation's latest album. I sent my questions to Vlasa (guitar/vocals) and not only did I get great answers from him, but their mastermind Doctor (bass/vocals) joined in and expanded the final result. So read our chat and discover the greatness of this Czech band!!!

New interview added 12.10.2024:
Czech death metal quintet, Brutally Deceased, released a rather devastating and dark album that I heartily recommend to extreme metal fans worldwide. My questions were answered by Michal Štepánek (vocals) and Tomáš Marík (drums). Have fun with our conversation!!!

Time is a thing we must accept.
The unexpected I sometimes fear.
Just when I feel there's no
excuse for what happens,
things fall into place.
I know there is no way to
avoid the pain that we must
go through, to find the other
half that is true.
Destiny is what we all seek.
Destiny was waiting for you and me.
I believe behind confusion,
awaits the truth for us.
Past the obstacles we face.
I value our life and trust.
Years of questioning why
things happen the way they do in life.
Wishing that I could turn back
time, so we could join our souls.
